1. I wrote humorous content for the Heroes section on the portal, http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=252699&pagenum=8
2. The agreement would be something like, "I'm okay with 4000+500, if you're not, state your defeat."
I came to this conclusion because once, the organizer of a tournament decided that 4 minutes wasn't enough for the SOD (Single-Opponent Duel), and they needed to introduce 6 minutes for the Portal tournament. I got Rebellius in the tournament. I said, "We play for 4 minutes, or you advance without a fight." Rebellius decided it was easier to advance without a fight.
P.S. The Portal rules stated 4 minutes.
As for games where maneuvering begins instead of just rushing, where you clear the path, fight, and shake hands – in those games, you definitely need at least 400 more points. Just now, I agreed to a draw with Dobber in an ORP (One-Round Play) game – the time was 225, the timer was 400+400, I was close to zero, and he was close to that as well. We both used 4-5 heroes at the end, even though we were using quick play throughout. There simply wasn't enough time for more.
